  Sharpe will start Sunday's game against the Grizzlies, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports. Sharpe made his season debut Thursday after beginning the season with a shoulder injury. The 21-year-old pro has had a slow start to the year while averaging 9.5 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 20.5 minutes per game through two contests, but he will get an increased opportunity Sunday.

• Trail Blazers' Shaedon Sharpe: Efficient scoring in limited run

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Sharpe (shoulder) tallied 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one block across 20 minutes off the bench in Thursday's 118-105 loss to the Spurs. After missing the first eight games of the season while recovering from a small posterior labral tear in his left shoulder, Sharpe was eased back into the rotation in a bench role. Sharpe will likely be operating under a minutes restriction for at least a few more games, but once he gets fully ramped up, he could be a candidate to replace either Toumani Camara or Deni Avdija in the starting five. Though he doesn't possess the most well-rounded fantasy profile, Sharpe has displayed some scoring potential during his brief time in the NBA and could be particularly useful in points leagues.

  Sharpe (shoulder) is available to play in Thursday's game versus the Spurs, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports. Sharpe is expected to make his season debut off the bench, and he hasn't played in a regular-season matchup since Jan. 11 due to injuries to his abdomen and shoulder. The 21-year-old is expected to work his way back to regular playing time slowly, though he could eventually make a case to replace Toumani Camara as the club's starting two-guard.

  24D ago • By RotoWire

  The Trail Blazers exercised their fourth-year team option on Sharpe (shoulder) on Saturday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports. Sharpe suffered a small posterior labral tear in his left shoulder that is expected to keep him sidelined a few weeks into the regular season. Still, his option being picked up indicates Portland views him in its plans going forward. When healthy, he is expected to provide depth on the wing this season.
